Sunday nights are all about movies, chill vibes, and prepping for the week ahead. So we decided to wrap up the weekend with a little treat — something new, something different. After scrolling through a few local spots, we landed on Happy China, thanks to the solid reviews and a menu that had us feeling like kids in a candy store.
Big win? They had Mei Fun noodles — a rare gem around here — so that instantly caught our eye.
We DoorDashed an order that included:
• Shrimp Egg Foo Young
• Shrimp Fried Rice
• Beef Mei Fun
• Honey Chicken
• Wonton Egg Drop Soup
Let’s get into it P & C’s:
PROS:
• Portion size? Generous. We were definitely not shorted.
• Presentation? Beautifully packed, looked fresh, smelled amazing.
• Temperature? Everything came in hot and steamy. That alone got points.
CONS:
• Flavor? Honestly… this was the biggest letdown. Everything was just bland. No seasoning, no balance — like somebody cooked it while on a salt-free diet.
• Custom requests? Missed. No eggs in the fried rice, and no bean sprouts in the noodles (even though my husband asked). They did scribble a note on the back of the receipt saying, “Sorry, we’re out of bean sprouts today,” which I can appreciate — but still, it took away from the experience.
⸻
Overall, Happy China gave quantity, not quality.Would we try them again? Maybe. But only if we’re in a pinch and feeling hopeful they were just having an off day in the flavor department.
⸻
3/5 stars — potential is there, but the flavor gotta show up next time.

I went to this place on yesterday and will not be returning. Me and my co-workers ordered here and we all threw our food away. The rice was or had to have been 6 months old. It was dry, unflavored and disgusting. The chicken was ok. I wish I could have gave 0 for a star!

I’m always sketchy about trying new Chinese restaurants but this just happened to be in the area I was in. The service was good. The food came out fresh and hot clearly made to order. I didn’t wait long at all. I got a 6pc wing and their house fried rice. Everything could have used some seasoning/ salt. They rice looked soo good but had no flavor. That’s my only complaint.

Food is good and they put sprouts in their fried rice. Not to many places do that. Love it.

Great good, the owner left too go to another location and his cousin runs it now. They would have gotten 5 but their drinks are nasty tasting. All of them…

I usually order from here all the time and the food is usually good. However, today as I was chewing on a bite of Singapore Mei fun, there was something hard in my mouth that I had chewed on. I took the hard piece out of my mouth and it was a small piece of metal. It looks like a staple. This could have been so bad. I’m glad I caught it when I did.
